Im turning a 7/15 as well and its maybe a tad too much im going to a 90mm nozzle. Youd prolly be perfect with the 6/13.

Looking good broseph.

I've only tried a couple flips so far and I was going too fast into the setup wake. I will get back out there this weekend and get them dialed in, I've got some good tips on what I need to do and can't wait to get out there and start flipping.

Here is my first attempt.

I don't think you're going too fast. Speed is your friend unless you have a monster motor. However, the timing gets trickier the faster you go.
You could have landed that plate to plate if you had pulled the pole towards you mid-air and/or arched. Nice going.

Hey Hollywood. I think you'd be better off crouching like in deftons vid rather than arching your back. I bet it would come around much easier for you.

I come from a freestyle motocross background and by arching your back your eyes spot your landing and your feet and body will always follow. I just need to learn how to do a better set up wake ;)

It looked like you were a little fast making the wake but your approach speed was good. Slow it down and lean it over a little, That eill make the wake larger and lippier.

Looking good man.

U may b on to something with a smaller prop. I've had multiple builders tell me the Lamey engines like a smaller prop. Don't b afraid to down pitch. Even if it slips just a tad right off idle with the new prop ur never trying a flip at just off idle. As a comparison I'm using a skat c75 10/15 in a 144 mag with a 85.5 nozzle and stubby cone with exact same engine. I think my prop is comparable to a 9/15 hooker. Seems small for the displacement but it like to rev and hits more the harder I rev it. (PFP & MSD TL).
